Chapter 1947

Seeing that Gu Chen had identified the other party's background, the Hidden Dragon Clan Leader nodded in surprise.

The Chen Clan's Space Fixing Technique was famous. It was said that when it was used, it could even freeze the surging and changes of energy in the space, indirectly causing many Dharma techniques to fail or greatly reduce their power.

When he had fought with the other party earlier, the Invisibility Technique that he was proficient in had failed, causing him to waste a lot of time.

"May I know who you are from the Chen Clan? You must not be a nobody, right? Why have you barged into my Luo Water Palace? "

Gu Chen looked at the middle-aged man and asked calmly.

"You are Chen Yi, right? You should know why I'm here. "

The middle-aged man looked at the cross-shaped tattoo between Gu Chen's eyebrows and identified him. He answered calmly and did not have much self-awareness of being a prisoner.

When Gu Chen heard this, he frowned slightly. He had roughly guessed the other party's intentions.

When Pei Nation had first established itself, he had borrowed the identity of the Chen Clan. As his influence and fame grew, this matter inevitably alarmed the Chen Clan.

Previously, a Chen Huandong had come to the Chen Clan. He was a rash young man who had gone out to train. He had been interrogated quickly and captured. He was still locked in prison.

As the dynasty changed, Gu Chen knew that his fake identity as a Chen Clan disciple could not be hidden. The upper echelons of the Chen Clan would come looking for him sooner or later.

He had already thought of a way to deal with it. When the time came, he just had to admit that his identity was fake and lure out the Great Prophet, the mastermind. No faction would be interested in him and would not investigate further.

This was a feasible method. Even if the Chen Clan came looking for him, as long as he admitted his mistake and handed over Chen Huandong, then gave some compensation, he believed that the Chen Clan would not pursue him.

If the Chen Clan was unforgiving, he had nothing to fear with his current strength.

He had considered everything, but he did not expect the Chen Clan to come so quickly. Furthermore, they had appeared by sneaking in. This made him a little uneasy.

One had to know that the Pei Nation was newly established. There should have been some time before the Chen Clan took action. They would not have reacted so quickly. The other party might have targeted him long ago.

If they had targeted him long ago, who knew what clues the Chen Clan had hidden in the dark had found? It might be disadvantageous to him.

The Dao Court emissary could come at any time. The timing was very sensitive. If the Chen Clan found out something about his identity and reported it to the Dao Court, the consequences would be unthinkable …

He was not sure if the person in front knew any secrets. Gu Chen could not help but want to kill him.

However, just killing him didn't mean that the hidden danger was eliminated. Only heaven knew if there were other Chen Clan cultivators in Peidu!

"Take him to the cell. I will interrogate him personally.

For the sake of caution, Gu Chen did not ask any more questions. He ordered several elders to take the middle-aged man to the prison of the Luo Water Palace.

"Sir, you came to Chen" of the Chen "Chen" of. "You" Chen "King" is, "You Chen" is.

"You've come here today to denounce me for pretending to be a Chen Clan disciple, right?"

"You come for me?" Chen "I" Chen "s" Emperor "." King "Gu Gu." King "Gu" Ye "

"Was the person I just fought really an assassin from the Pavilion of Innocence?"

The middle-aged man was not in a hurry to answer. Instead, his eyes flashed. He seemed to have guessed something from his fight with the clan leader of the Hidden Dragon Clan.

Gu Chen could not help but narrow his eyes. If the middle-aged man had guessed the true identity of the clan leader of the Hidden Dragon Clan, things would be troublesome.

The alliance between the Hidden Dragon Clan and him could not be spread for the time being. There would be one more reason for the middle-aged man's death.

"Sir, you must have investigated me before you came. I am the Pavilion Master of the Pavilion of Innocence. This Luo Water Palace is naturally heavily guarded. It is not easy to break in," Gu Chen answered.

"I have met the assassins of the Pavilion of Innocence. They don't seem to be that strong," the middle-aged man said gloomily.

He had made sufficient preparations before sneaking into the Luo Water Palace. He thought he could hide from all the assassins of the Pavilion of Innocence. He did not expect to be killed.

"That only means that you have underestimated the Pavilion of Innocence. Before the fall of Dacheng, who would have thought that the Pavilion of Innocence could overthrow an entire dynasty?"

Gu Chen said casually. The middle-aged man was speechless. The Pavilion of Innocence was indeed in the limelight recently. Perhaps he had really underestimated them.

"Your Excellency, if you're here to denounce me, you can visit me openly. Why do you have to hide yourself and end up in prison?" Gu Chen asked again.

"Openly pay a visit to your home? The last time a disciple of the Chen Clan came to visit, what happened to him? Fellow Daoist Chen, may I ask if my clan's good-for-nothing disciple is still alive? "

The middle-aged man snorted disdainfully. He was not one of the younger generation in the clan who went out to train. He was impulsive and did not even know the other party's background before coming to denounce him. As a result, it was unknown whether he was still alive or not.

"So you already know about this."

Gu Chen's heart sank. He was even more certain that the other party did not sneak into the Luo Water Palace on a whim. He already knew about him beforehand.

Chen Huandong's disappearance must have attracted the attention of the higher-ups of the Chen Clan. He wondered how many channels and manpower the Chen Clan had used to investigate him!

He had captured Chen Huandong before he went to the capital to take part in the old Emperor Sheng's test. If the Chen Clan had sent people to investigate him then, they might have known more than he had imagined …

"If you don't want others to know, don't do it. You pretended to be a disciple of the Chen Clan and did well in Dacheng. Have you ever thought about how you would explain to the messenger of the Tianpu Taoist Court when he comes? "

"The Tianpu Taoist Court is not stupid. They can also find out what the Chen Clan can find out, and they will only find out more."

The middle-aged man seemed to be implying something. It seemed that he had already caught hold of Gu Chen's weakness.

"If you know anything, you can report it directly to the Tianpu Taoist Court. That would be a great merit. Why did you sneak into the Luo Water Palace and take such a big risk?"

Gu Chen replied calmly. He was not sure what the other party knew. It was also possible that he was just putting on a show so that he would not dare to kill him for fear of harming the innocent.

This possibility existed. If the other party really knew a lot of secrets, it was unlikely that he would fall into the hands of the Hidden Dragon Clan Leader.

"The Luo Water Palace is so complicated. Without conclusive evidence, how would I dare to complain to the Tianpu Taoist Court?" The middle-aged man shook his head.

"So you snuck into the Luo Water Palace to look for evidence? What kind of evidence are you looking for? "

"If I tell you, will you still let me go? I'm not stupid. "The middle-aged man sneered.

"You're exaggerating. It was my fault for pretending to be a disciple. Once the misunderstanding is cleared up, I will naturally let you go."

Gu Chen's words were watertight. He was not sure if the other party really knew anything. If he followed the middle-aged man's words, it would be equivalent to confessing.
